Lake Placid News

Since 1905, the Lake Placid News has been the hometown weekly newspaper for the Olympic Region. Published every Friday, we cover the village of Lake Placid and the Essex County towns of North Elba, Keene, Jay and Wilmington in New York’s 6-million-acre Adirondack Park.      Lake Placid calls its Olympic venues “legacy sites.” We consider the Lake Placid News a “legacy newspaper.” The LPN was founded five years after the village of Lake Placid was incorporated and the same year the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department was established.
